I am going to embark on a reset of my small listening room. My equipment is essentially set, now I am [finally] going to focus on room treatment. Will be using REW and a measurement mic to quantify the improvements as well as providing my opinion/feedback. I will have a floor plan posted shortly.

Here is my mock-up with the ASC panels, I would need to do this in stages. I still need to figure out what to do with the window. I have a heavy curtain with a heavy backing on it, but still room for improvement.

Is this a dedicated listening room or tv/video as well? If it strictly for listening how about putting the speakers on either side of the window with the console below the window? Facing the window as you listen.

In my listening room diffusion plays a much larger role than absorption. Always room dependent.I admire your drive. Very challenging and rewarding at the same time this journey we are on.

I know practically nothing about treating a room but in past threads, HR1s have been placed anywhere from toe-in to toe-out. I would guess that the amount of toe would change your absorption/diffuser locations? I think Lonely Raven keeps his treatments mobile. Just a thought.

Good plan. I agree, having the mobility is going to be important. The TubeTraps made by ASC are also Treble diffusors on half, allowing me to "tune" the room so to speak. With such a small room I don't want to make it too dead.

The TubeTraps will be completely moveable and stackable until I reach the absorption that I desire.

As far as the wall panels, I need to come up with a plan that doesn't ruin the aesthetics of the room (it is the first room on the right as you enter the house). I was thinking the GIK ArtPanels with scatter plates to do double duty with both diffusion and absorption.

Here is my 2nd stab at a plan for the acoustic panels. Tubes and GIK ArtPanels have been approved by the wife. I will be doing a measurement and talking with ASC and GIK this week. That is all for now.

Lonely Raven - Yes, I couldn't have said it better myself. I am hoping the TubeTraps are going to help some in that arena. This was without the ZROCK in place as it is back at the mothership right now. I will be interested to see how it impacts it.

Another measurement coming on Monday/Tuesday after the TubeTraps arrive. I am beyond excited to see what impact they have.

I didn't notice or missed it but keep in mind treating the ceiling as well. Upper corners for sure and the meeting point of the wall and ceiling and ceiling above at the first reflection spots similar to your walls. Looks like you have a rug down so your floor is treated somewhat already.

Sorry for the delay in updates. I also stopped receiving emails on this thread. I'll be sure to check back more often.

The MDAT file is 12.2MB, Decware forums will only allow a 1MB upload.

Ceiling will be tough based on the location of the room in the house (it is the first room when you walk in. Long term the listening room will be relocated upstairs and be purpose-built from the start.

Due to the trim/molding the front-wall will be the easiest to install.I also still have my Upright Piano in the room which is not helping the acoustics, as well as blocking my ability to treat one of the side walls.

Eventually, I will be adding 5 more IsoThermal TubeTraps to the corners, two more up front to reach the ceiling, and 3 more in my one-treatable rear corner.

ron you have any measurements with the hr1's further out into the room. realize you don't have much space,,, but those are really tight to wall and with big console in middle. i'd think the imaging would be lacking a bit.

able to do anything that 80hz mode? very interested cause i have a similar issue.

I'm not familiar with that Ron but the ZP3 has a much larger power supply, tube rectification and regulation. . . it should sound considerably better is my guess. Be sure to let us know. I would be surprised if you didn't love the ZP3.
